TPM-STAT Ducted Installation Instructions

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

A. Product features or speciﬁ cations as described or

illustrated are subject to change without notice.

B. This "Air Conditioner" (hereinafter referred to as

the "unit") is designed for:

1. Installation on a recreational vehicle at the time

the vehicle is manufactured.

2. Mounting on the roof of a recreational ve-

hicle.

3. Connection to an air distribution system located

in the ceiling/roof cavity of the recreational

vehicle.

4. Roof construction with rafters/joists on minimum

of 16 inch centers.

5. Minimum of 2.00 inches and maximum of

5.50 inches distance between roof to ceiling

of recreational vehicle. Alternate installation

methods will allow for roofs more than 5.50

inches thick.

C. The ability of the unit to maintain the desired

inside temperature depends on the heat gain of

the RV. Some preventative measures taken by

the occupants of the RV can reduce the heat gain

and improve the performance of the unit. During

extremely high outdoor temperatures, the heat gain

of the vehicle may be reduced by:

1. Parking the RV in a shaded area.

2. Using window shades (blinds and/or cur-

tains).

3. Keeping windows and doors shut or minimizing

usage.

4. Avoiding the use of heat producing appli-

ances.

5. Operation on High Fan/Cooling mode will give

optimum or maximum efﬁ ciency in high humidity

or high outside temperature.

6. Starting the unit early in the morning and

giving it a "head start" on the expected high

outdoor ambient will greatly improve its ability

to maintain the desired indoor temperature.

7. For a more permanent solution to a high heat

gain, accessories like A&E outdoor patio and

window awnings will reduce heat gain by re-

moving the direct exposure to the sun. They

also add a nice area to enjoy company during

the cool of the evening.

D. Condensation

Note: The manufacturer of this unit will not be responsible

for damage caused by condensed moisture on ceilings or

other surfaces. Air contains moisture and this moisture

tends to condense on cold surfaces. When air enters

the RV, condensed moisture may appear on the ceiling,

windows, metal parts, etc. The unit removes this moisture

from the air during normal operation. Keeping doors and

windows closed when this unit is in operation will minimize

condensed moisture on cold surfaces.

4. AIR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

SIZING & DESIGN

The Installer of this unit system must design the air

distribution system for their particular application.

Several requirements for this system MUST be met

for the unit to operate properly. These requirements

are as follows:

A. The duct material must meet or exceed any agency

or RVIA Standard that may be in existence at the

time the RV is produced.

B. All discharge air ducts must be properly insulated

to prevent condensation from forming on their

surfaces or adjacent surfaces during operation of

the unit. This insulation must be R-7 minimum.

C. Ducts and their joints must be sealed to prevent

condensation from forming on adjacent surfaces

during operation of the unit.

D. Return air openings must have 40 square inches

minimum free area including the ﬁ lter.

E. Return air to the unit must be ﬁ ltered to prevent

dirt accumulation on unit cooling surface.

TPM-STAT Ducted Installation Instructions

B. ROOF AND CEILING OPENING PREPARA-

TION

1. A 14-1/4" x 14-1/4" (±1/8") opening must be

cut through the roof and ceiling of the RV. This

opening must be located between the roof

reinforcing members.

2. Mark a 14-1/4" x 14-1/4" (±1/8") square on the

roof and carefully cut the opening.

3. Using the roof opening as a guide, cut the

matching hole in the ceiling.

4. The opening created must be framed to provide

adequate support and prevent air from being

drawn from the roof cavity. Lumber 3/4" or

more in thickness must be used. Remember

to provide an entrance hole for power supply

wiring and thermostat cable. See FIG. 2.

5. The 14-1/4" x 14-1/4" (±1/8") opening is part

of the return air system of the unit and must

be ﬁ nished in accordance with NFPA Standard

501C Section 2.7.

6. Route a copper 12 AWG, with ground, 120 VAC

supply line from the fuse or circuit breaker box

to the roof opening.

a. This supply line must be located in the front

portion of the 14-1/4" x 14-1/4" (±1/8")

opening.

There may be electrical wiring between the

roof and the ceiling. Disconnect 120 VAC

power cord and the positive (+) 12 VDC ter-

minal at the supply battery. Failure to follow

this instruction may create a shock hazard

used for low voltage connections.

2. Choose the shortest, direct route from the 14-1/4"

x 14-1/4" (±1/8") opening to the thermostat location

selected.

3. Consider where screws, nails or staples might

contact the cable.

4. Leave approximately 6" of cable extending through

the wall for connection to the thermostat.

5. Leave approximately 15" of cable extending into

the 14-1/4" x 14-1/4" (±1/8") opening for connection

at unit.

6. If system is to control a gas furnace: Route two 18

gauge wires from the furnace to 14-1/4" x 14-1/4"

(±1/8") opening.

6. THERMOSTAT & CABLE INSTALLA-

TION

A. LOCATION

The proper location of the thermostat is very

important to ensure that it will provide a com-

fortable RV temperature. Observe the following

general rules when selecting a location.

1. Locate the thermostat 54" above the ﬂ oor.

2. Install thermostat on a partition, NEVER on an

outside wall.

3. NEVER expose it to direct heat from lamps,

sun or other heat producing items.

4. Avoid locations close to doors that lead outside,

windows or adjoining outside walls or directly
